These banknotes were all exchanged by Goldlion, the largest bank in Beijing.
Li Zhiwei looked at the large box, which was filled with large denomination silver notes. Conservatively speaking, there were at least a million taels of silver notes inside.
"Mother, what are you doing now?"
At this point, Li Zhiwei began to suspect that Li Tianyou and Yao had secretly sold off all of their family's assets.
Otherwise, where would so much money come from?
Previously, they had prepared hundreds of thousands of taels of silver as their dowry.
With so many silver notes, Li Zhiwei even wondered if this was the entire Li family's fortune.
"I already told you, this is your dowry from your parents." Seeing her daughter's surprised expression, Madam Yao couldn't help but smile.
“These are the things your parents gave you the greatest confidence,” Yao said again, looking at Li Zhiwei.
"Mother, do you mean that all of the previous ones were just for show? And this is the only real dowry for me?" Li Zhiwei swallowed after speaking, unsure if it was what she was thinking.
When Yao saw her daughter's surprised expression, she felt both heartache and a sense of cuteness.
"You don't actually think that with the Li family's wealth, we can only afford 1,360 loads of dowry for our daughter's marriage, do you?" Yao asked teasingly, looking at her daughter's expression.
“Those dowries, though gorgeous, are not very useful. They’re just for show; they won’t save your life in a critical moment,” Yao explained, looking at her daughter’s expression.
After all, those things are real and beautiful, but they are hard to redeem, and they are not as practical as real money.
Zhu Jingchen: I knew it! Why were those things still in the storeroom? Turns out they were hard to sell! Li Tianyou is truly cunning!
Li Zhiwei swallowed hard. She had never known these things before. In her previous life, these things had never been delivered to her.
She didn't know if the Lin family had snatched her away, or if her parents had other plans.
Thinking of the tragic events of her parents' previous life, Li Zhiwei couldn't help but suspect that all of this might be a conspiracy by the Lin family.
Could it be that the Lin family became envious of the things my parents brought out, and wanted more, and my parents disagreed, which led to them being harmed by the Lin family?
The more Li Zhiwei thought about it, the more upset she felt.
While Li Zhiwei was thinking about her dowry, little did she know that a heated argument had already broken out in the court because of her.
If Li Zhiwei had found out any later, the story of her having a second child might have already been fabricated.
However, Li Zhiwei soon found out as well.
"Young Miss, Eunuch Liu has arrived," Qinghua called out from outside the house.
"Understood, we'll go out now." After replying to Qinghua, Li Zhiwei said to Yao Shi, "Mother, Eunuch Liu is the chief steward by the Emperor's side. Just listen to what I have to say later." Li Zhiwei quickly said to Yao Shi.
Madam Yao nodded. She knew nothing about the etiquette and manners of the capital.
At this moment, no one understood why the emperor's eunuch had come to the Li family.
However, seeing her daughter's calm demeanor, Madam Yao felt relieved.
"Please, Eunuch Liu!" Li Zhiwei bowed slightly to Eunuch Liu.
"Eunuch Liu!" Madam Yao nodded to Eunuch Liu.
"This must be Madam Li? She is indeed a beauty that could shame the moon and put the flowers to shame," Eunuch Liu said with a smile.
"Please forgive my rudeness, sir. I wonder what brings you here at this hour?" Li Zhiwei asked Liu Gonggong curiously.
